Just after noon we headed off to the Taieri River for a picnic. It was fairly quiet and there were some playful dogs chasing the stones we were throwing in the water...so funny! We had our picnic and then while Camila was playing in the water, Andrew had a little snooze and I collected some colored little pebbles.Afterwards we drove to the Taieri Mouth and paddle around for some time. We just came home tired but happy.

On my new project I am drawing and painting New Zealand icons to make cards and prints.

Since tomorrow is my birthday I decided to celebrate it kiwi style which means you bake a nice cake for your friends. It is a little bit tricky to send a cake overseas so I will be giving away a lollie-cake fairy print and 5 lollie-cake fairy cards.

To participate just leave me a comment on this post and I will randomly choose a winner from all of you who do.

I had my first big order since I started my shop at the beginning of September.

I made few cards to show locally and had a huge surprise when I had more than 20 orders...100 cards in total! I didn't even had enough paper and envelopes to print and had to rush to get some and materials for packaging.

I just finished half of the job which I have to hand out tomorrow and hopefully more paper will arrive on Monday to do the rest.

I'm thrilled, surprised and very very happy, but the thought of this being just beginners luck scares me.

Next week I will go around town showing my products...will tell you the result.
